Blogoversary Giveaway!

I just realized this October makes six years that I have been a part of the blogging community!While I have experienced dry spells, and taken time away for medical, family, and other crisis I have always returned to a community with open arms. It has meant so much to me that writers and readers are so willing to educate, encourage, and inspire each other. You are a blessing of positives in a time often filled with negatives.As a thank-you, I am offering two giveaways.1) Anyone who wants a FREE copy of my short story "Broken Angel" can have one by simply leaving a comment below with the email you want it sent to by October 15. You can also email me at: writinginwonderland(at)gmail(dot)com2) Secondly, anyone who leaves a review of "Broken Angel" (this is about a ten minute long read) either at Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Goodreads, Smashwords, etc. by October 15 will be entered into a drawing for a gift set. If you have already left a review, you are already entered, and YES you can have multiple entries for leaving a review at multiple sites. Since this is my sixth year blogging, there are six items in the set.A) Simply Happy - an autographed book written by Chicken Soup for the Soul publisher Amy Newmark. This title will not be available for general sale until October 4th.B) The Power of Your Subconscious Mind - written by Joseph Murphy to help unlock the master keys to your success.C) On Writing Fiction - by David Jauss to inspire rethinking conventional wisdom about the craft.D) Book Bag - made from sturdy fabric with a full bookshelf print.E) Russell Stover Chocolates - because everyone either loves chocolates or knows someone who does.F) Candle - the holidays are coming and nothing says Fall like the smell of warm apple pie.I will announce the winner here the week of October 16th since that is the week I began blogging. HAPPY WRITING AND READING!
